I had sort of a random thought last month. I do a lot of whining and focusing on the negative things in my life, and have been encouraged to do a gratitude journal, or even a gratitude list. And I have this blog that I don't post in often, so I thought I could make this a gratitude journal of sorts. I told myself I would post everyday, and not just rattle off a list of things, but choose one thing and talk about it a little. It was going to start on the 1st; it would be my New Year's resolution.
Yeah, not so much.
Instead, I'm going to try to hit something at least once a week. If I do more than that, then more power to me.
So this week, it's my Dad. I'm going through a fair-size disaster entirely of my own making, and instead of reminding me it's my own fault, or being disappointed in me, he has just quietly and matter-of-factly stepped up to help me fix it. His attitude has helped me focus on what I can and need to do instead of wallowing in how incredibly stupid the choices I've made have been. I'm very blessed to be his daughter.
